We met in college at Bentley University through a mutual friend (thank you, groomsman Sam), and started dating during our junior year.

We celebrated Lauren & Jeff's wedding together (and Chris met the entire extended family)

Our first big hike together up Mt. Washington!

Rachel's first time visiting Cape May Point!

We "graduated" college together with a vitrual ceremony in place of a real one.

Graduating during a pandemic and global hiring freeze, we made the most of our time by driving Chris's Rav4 across the country on a three-week national park road trip. We drove 7,300 miles through 23 states and 13 national parks — all while sleeping in a tent every night.

We moved into our first apartment together in Waltham, MA!

The day Summit joined the family! We picked up our 8-week old Australian Shepherd, and our lives were forever changed!

We finally got a graduation ceremony (1 year late) at Fenway Park!

We moved to Stoneham, MA!

We took our first international trip together to Paris!

& made our way south to the French Pyrenees.

We took another trip to Alberta, Canada where we visited Banff, Yoho, and Jasper National Parks.

Our favorite day yet: Chris proposed to Rachel on top of Mt. Crawford during a winter hike with Summit! We had the mountain to ourselves to take in the moment before going home and celebrating with family!
